Re: [slim] Which Paid Controler App for Android?

2016-01-01 Thread Giza2020

I've used squeeze commander for years and it works great for my needs. I
did have another look at squeeze ctrl after this thread got me
interested again. .it's a great app and could win me overt. However. The
way it handles volume of grouped players is annoying. 

When a player is grouped I like the volume on my phone to be grouped too
and not have to go into the player manager settings to adjust the group
volume or worse case change individually.

SC does this brilliantly but Steve Ctrl doesn't. .you have to go to the
screen where the player grouping is shown and adjust a group volume
there. ..so close. .just needs an option to make that group volume
default if wanted.

I also don't want to group player volume at source because I like to
adjust them independently when using player controls (eg turn boom down
in kitchen but not player in the front room)

Think it's time I went to the squeeze ctrl forum :-)

Re: [slim] Squeezebox classic plays 24/96 ??

SB3/Classic cannot play 24/96 so your LMS is down sampling file to 48.

[slim] Squeezebox classic plays 24/96 ??

2016-01-01 Thread Jose Francisco

Dear members of the forum:

I have a squeezebox classic and I can't play 24/96 songs. My Logitech
Media Server Version is 7.7.5.
I have songs in 24/96 and the light os my DAC Cambridge Magic 100

Yeah, I love free stuff as much as anyone.  I don't use any paid service
myself.  But I also understand these services need to generate revenue
to keep the streams going.
So I'm ok with the limitations, ads, hickups, etc...

Another good free alternative is the ShoutCast service/app.  You won't
get station or artist art, often not even song/artist metadata.  But
ShoutCast has like 30,000+ stations and is quite reliable.  I have my
ShoutCast set to only the higher bitrate streams (mine is set to 192k)
by using ShoutCasts Bitrate Limit setting.

Ex:  ShoutCast > Genres > Classical > All Stations has hundreds of
stations.  If you set the Bitrate Limit to say 192k (like mine) you have
probably a couple dozen stations.
You also have the option of selecting Sub-Genres like Baroque, Chamber,
Romantic, Opera, Piano, etc...

Michael Herger,

FYI Just now noticing ShoutCast is not working correctly.  ShoutCast
> Genres > *pick any one*, result is "failed to parse".

Yet other ShoutCast streams seem to play (like ShoutCast > Most
Popular), so service is not completely broken.

If this is the afterlife for my Squeezeboxes, it's sweet. Getting
ClassicalRadio to recognize I'm a premium subscriber was a little
fiddly, but working now and it sounds great. All year I've dragged my
feet on replacing the Squeezebox in my family room with a Sonos Connect
and the one in the bedroom with a Play1. Now I can wait a while longer -
I miss having SiriusXM, but this goes a very long way toward making up
for it. Nice.
